Canada releases UFO X-Files to the World February 16, 6:33 AM by

has authorized open public access to thousands of federal government
documents concerning UFOs. A total of 9500 digitized documents
spanning the years 1947 to the early 1980s have been made available
through the Library and Archives Canada website. Titled "Canada's
UFOs: The Search for the Unknown" the files include correspondence,
reports, memos and procedures, some of which specifically deal with
UFOs. The files come from Canada's National Defense Department, the
Department of Transport, the National Research Council, and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Canada's release of its UFO X-Files follows closely upon the release
at the end of January of Denmark's UFO files. Britain continues to
release thousands of UFO files through a program of gradual releases
it began in May 2007 through its national archives with the most
recent being on October 2008. The French Space Agency had earlier
announced on March 22, 2007, that it was making public its secret
UFO files through a government website.

The important difference between the released Canadian UFO files
with other country releases is the inclusion of departmental analyses
rather than simply reports of UFO sightings. According to Victor
Viggiani from Exopolitics Toronto , who has been monitoring the
Canadian Government UFO website since its inception, "The Canadian
files do not simply list UFO sightings; they describe actions,
meetings and inter-departmental memoranda generated by Canadian
officials that attempt to make sense of the considerable onslaught
of UFO sightings as well as referencing American problems with
keeping abreast of UFO sightings."

For example, a September 1967 memo titled "Unidentified Flying
Objects (UFOs) - Investigations", was released which stated:

a number of investigations of the reports suggest the possibility
of UFOs exhibiting some unique scientific information or advanced
technology which could possibly contribute to scientific or technical
research.

Another memo details a UFO sighting at Shag Harbor witnessed by
member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and six civilian witnesses
on the night of October 4, 1967. The memo describes how "[w]itnesses
reported seeing an object 60 feet in length moving in an easterly
direction before it descended rapidly into the water, making a
bright splash on impact." The report continued: "A single white
light appeared on the surface of the water for a short period of
time. The RCMP, with help from local fishermen and their boats,
endeavoured to reach the object before it sank completely."

Undoubtedly the most significant documents are those associated
with a 1950-1952 classified investigation and analysis of UFOs by
a Department of Transportation team led by Wilbert Smith, a senior
radio engineer. In his Project Magnet Report, Smith commented
extensively on the flight performance of UFOs that were far in
advance to anything known at the time:

. it is difficult to reconcile this performance with the capabilities
of our
technology, and unless the technology of some terrestrial nation
is much more advanced than is generally known, we are forced to the
conclusion that the vehicles are probably extra-terrestrial, in
spite of our prejudices to the contrary."

While not all of the information made available through the Canadian
archives is completely new to UFO researchers, it does provide a
comprehensive online archive for the public and media to scrutinize
the Canadian Government UFO X-Files. Canada first began to release
UFO files through its online archive in October 2007, and these
have quickly increased to its present level of 9500 files. Canada
therefore joins a select group of countries that have so far publicly
released UFO files. As President Obama heads to Canada on February
19, he could take time from his busy schedule to ask Prime Minister
Steven Harper for tips on how the U.S. might release to the public
its own classified UFO X-Files.
